ConservativeHome is just back from David Cameron's monthly press conference. We asked about the MEP selection process and whether David Cameron would investigate CCHQ's decision not to publish turnout and spoilt ballots data.
Mr Cameron replied that he had read ConservativeHome's account of the process and would talk to Caroline Spelman about the issue of data publication and report back later today.
He defended two aspects of the selection process. He said that it was right that MEPs became more like MPs and enjoyed a little more benefit from their incumbency than they had in the past and he also said that he wanted more women MEPs and the changes justified the long-term benefit.
